So far through four games, the backups can be compared relatively speaking. Ron Kellogg III is a pedestrian 3-of-5 for 19 yards with a pick. Brion Carnes went 2-for-2 for 26 yards without an INT.
Just throwing that up. Carnes did perform well when he took to the field last year. He was 1-for-1 for 19 yards against Chattanooga-Tennessee who has a starting cornerback (Chris Lewis-Harris) that I coached when he was in high school. Carnes' other completion was a 7-yarder against Minnesota last year.
Kellogg III has got to scan the whole field before he launches it. He doesn't want to throw a pic 6.
Carnes was safer throwing the ball IMHO as Nebraska's backup versus Kellogg III. Stats back that up.
